They say it's sick

Chapter 47

Xiao Duo raised his eyebrows, crossed his arms and looked at Li Yan's bait and bait skillfully: "I don't know if we still have you, they all say raising a child to prevent old age, although you were not raised by us, it should be no problem to prevent old age Bar?"

"If you two are not afraid that your old age life will be too bleak, of course I have no problem..." Li Yan raised his hand and raised his pole. A golden-red koi no bigger than a palm was biting on the hook, wagging its tail desperately, "But what? ..."

While talking, he rescued the koi from the hook and put it in the wooden barrel next to Xiao Duo: "Ugly speaking, you know my body and bones. Although I try my best, can I live long enough?" After all, it is up to me to decide the day when I give you two pensions, and if I leave first, I don’t mean to break my promise.”

This is really not an auspicious word, especially when the person who said it is Zhengfang is young and has not yet reached the crown.

But Li Yan didn't check, his expression was relaxed, his tone was flat, and all his attention was on the fishhook in his hand, as if what he just said was just an insignificant trifle.

Xiao Duo glanced at him, turned his gaze to the other side.

Xiao Luo lowered her eyes and looked at the koi swimming in the lotus pond without blinking, as if she didn't hear their conversation, but from Xiao Duo's perspective, she could clearly see that the back of his hand holding the fishing rod was faintly shaking. Blue veins.

Probably even Li Yan didn't know that his body had long been a heart problem for Xiao Luo.

Xiao Duo patted Xiao Luo's hand in a comforting manner, turned around and pulled the wooden barrel away from Li Yan, and while teasing the koi that was swimming around inside, he said casually: "I don't mind you being in front of us. Speaking of these nonsense, after all, people are alive, and there is always a day when they will die, and it doesn’t make much difference whether they die early or late. I’m just a little curious about how young master Yun will react if you say this in front of him.”

Li Yan's hand holding the fishing rod paused, and subconsciously raised his hand to touch his hair.

It was a question he had never thought about.

If Yunzhi had just arrived in the capital, his own life and death would have been irrelevant. After this period of time, the two of them can be regarded as...

Li Yan let go of his hand, and replied nonchalantly: "He is open-minded, open-minded and transparent, and he joined the army at a young age, galloping on the battlefield for many years, he has long been used to life and death, so he doesn't care."

"Really?" Xiao Duo took his hand out of the bucket, and wiped the hem of Li Yan's clothes, "It's been less than half a year since Yunji died, and if Yunzhi can let it go, he won't go all the way Come to the capital."

"He grew up with Shizi Yun since he was a child. He had a deep brotherhood, and died suddenly. The real culprit is unknown..." Li Yan lowered his eyes to get the bait, "Naturally, others can't compare."

"So, you are still someone else?" Xiao Duo wiped his hands and looked at Li Yan with great interest, "Since this is the case, invite someone here later, tell me to give it a try?"

Li Yan was silent for a moment. With the bait in his hand, he tried twice before successfully hooking it to the hook. Then he said, "I've been back for a while, and you don't want to ask about the results of yesterday's interrogation?"

"Gaoliang sent a message last night..." Xiao Duo pulled down the bamboo hat on his head, "It's not a day or two since the Zheng family wanted my life, and in the end they could only think of this kind of thing." This method saves me a lot of trouble."

Li Yan knew that the Zheng family had done a lot of things overtly and secretly over the years.Although none of them had any impact on Xiao Duo, but as time passed, it was more or less a trouble.

This time is a chance once and for all.

"General Gao stayed up all night last night..." Li Yan asked, "Is this just busy?"

"Well, the assassins have already been recruited, so it's not a matter of course to get the instigators behind the scenes..." Xiao Duo lazily responded, "But I heard that someone from the Zheng family entered the palace overnight, and it was very lively this morning. The case was transferred from Suwei Mansion to Dali Temple."

After he finished speaking, he yawned for a long time, and then let out a chuckle, "After so long, these people are still as innocent as ever."

Li Yan looked up at him.

Xiao Duo didn't touch the Zheng family before, not because he couldn't move, nor because he had any scruples, but because he didn't think about it, now that he has thought about it, no matter whether it's in Suwei Mansion or Dali Temple, the outcome of this case will not be different. the slightest impact.

Li Yan had only been in the capital for a few months, and he already understood Xiao Duo's temperament, but those people in the court still couldn't see through it after so long.

Thinking of this, Li Yan smiled lightly, and almost at the same time, he lifted the fishing rod in his hand, and another koi struggled to be lifted out of the water.

"You really have some skills..." Xiao Duo raised his eyebrows, watching Li Yan put the koi into the bucket, "That's all?"

Li Yan blinked: "You expect me to catch all the fish in the lotus pond today?"

"Who asked you about fish..." Xiao Duo supported his knees with one hand, and covered half of his face with a bamboo hat, "This nonsense is not worth staying in Suwei Mansion for one night, what else do you want to tell me? "

"Yes..." Li Gu paused, then looked up at Xiao Duo, "I want to go back to Pingzhou."

"Pingzhou?" Xiao Duo looked sideways, "What did Yunzhi find out?"

"The group of bandits who murdered Prince Yun were the dead men that Zheng Lian had raised for the former prince..." Li Yan said slowly, "Yun Zhi suspects that after the fall of the former prince, Li Xuan took over these dead men. , disguised as bandits and kept in the mountains.”

"It's possible for Li Xuan to do such a thing..." Xiao Duo was silent for a while, as if he was thinking about it, and after a while, he raised his head, "At least it's your father in name, you should go back and see him off... ..."

He had just finished speaking, when Xiao Luo, who had been watching the lotus pond without moving, seemed to be in sedation, suddenly said: "Whether you can go to Pingzhou, the prince's words don't count."

Xiao Duo glanced at his face, and immediately stopped talking, but the corners of his mouth slightly raised, with a smile that couldn't be concealed, and in Li Yan's eyes, he always felt a little gloating.

He put down the fishing rod in his hand, touched his nose, and looked carefully at Xiao Luo.

Xiao Luo didn't seem to notice the gaze around her, she straightened up to pick up the fishing rod, frowned when she saw the empty hook, and then turned to look at Li Yan: "You walked so gracefully yesterday, did you forget something?"

Li Yan was silent for a while, and then explained for himself: "I greeted the prince yesterday."

"Stop..." Xiao Duo said immediately, "I told you to go to Suwei Mansion, but I didn't let you stay out at night."

Li Yan knew very well that Xiao Duo would not be on his side no matter what at such a time, so he had to lower his head and sincerely admit his mistake: "I forgot."

Xiao Luo caught his expression in his eyes, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Tomorrow the imperial doctor will come to check the prince's pulse, and then you can have a look. If the imperial doctor says nothing is wrong, you can go to Pingzhou together."

After finishing speaking, he stuffed the fishing rod into Xiao Duo's hand: "Before this, you should stay with the prince well in the mansion."

After speaking, he stood up, was about to leave, stopped again, took off the bamboo hat on top of his head, put it on Li Yan's head, then turned around and walked away without looking back.

Li Yan raised his hand to take off the bamboo hat that almost covered his sight, and subconsciously raised his head to look in the direction where Xiao Luo left.

It wasn't until the thin figure disappeared from the field of vision that he withdrew his gaze and put the bamboo hat back on his head.

Xiao Duo dug out the bait from the clay pot and tried to hang it on the hook. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at Li Yan's face and said calmly: "If you are far away, you can say what you want."

"It's nothing..." Li Yan looked at him for a while, then simply took the whole fishing rod over, "A while ago on the mountain, Yunzhi sent a letter to Zhenyuanhou for me."

As he spoke, he hung up the bait, looked up at Xiao Duo's face, "You and the steward already knew that my father was Wu Shuo, the general of the Juba Kingdom who died that day."

Xiao Duo took the fishing rod from him, and nodded simply: "I know..."

Li Yan lowered his eyes slightly, was silent for a while, and then said again: "You brought me into the palace for the sake of taking care of things?"

"Yes, not all..." After Xiao Duo finished speaking, seeing Li Yan looking over, he smiled softly, "It's for A Luo, but it's not just about accepting you into the palace."

Li Yan pursed his lips, waiting for him to continue.

Xiao Duo unhooked again, and said, "Since your mother died, the Li family has never heard of you. In recent years, A Luo has also spent some time to inquire, but found nothing, even if you are still alive. I'm not sure. I let the saint issue a decree..."

He smiled lightly before continuing, "Your cheap old man thinks he's smart, so he's actually pretty good at guessing."

"Then..." Li Yan opened his mouth, but finally changed his mouth, "I see."

Xiao Duo glanced at him sideways: "Stop asking questions?"

Li Yan replied: "Will the prince answer if I ask?"

"It's hard to say..." Xiao Duo thought for a while, then turned to look at him again, "Why don't you just ask A Luo?"

"I..." Li Yan shook his head lightly, "I haven't figured out how to speak."

"Then wait until you figure out how to speak, and ask yourself..." Xiao Duo shrugged, "Whether you can get the answer you want depends on your ability."

Li Yan nodded: "Okay..."

Hearing his answer, Xiao Duo smiled lightly, and then directly changed the subject: "You want to go to Pingzhou to investigate and find out the cause of your mother's death?"

Li Yan responded without hesitation: "Yes..."

"The cause of your mother's death is indeed strange..." Xiao Duo said slowly, "Although your mother had no existence in Li's residence, it was a gift from the late emperor to Li Xuan after all. That's why Li Xuan made a report back then, saying that your mother was a sudden death. He contracted a serious disease and died suddenly.

At that time, Juba had been subjugated for five or six years, and even their lord had died of illness in confinement, and the survivors of Juba had already started a new life, so naturally no one would pursue the truth of this matter. "

Speaking of this, he let out a sneer, "It's Li Xuan who is a guilty conscience. When A Luo went to find out about you, he found that all the old people in Li's mansion who knew about the existence of your mother and child were gone. Now in the whole world except Li Xuan and you His wife, probably no one knows what happened back then."
